Description

In one of her most iconic roles, Catherine Deneuve portrays a sexually unfulfilled housewife who begins secretly spending her afternoons working in a bordello. This surreal and erotic late-sixties daydream from provocateur for the ages Luis Buñuel is an examination of desire and fetishistic pleasure (its characters’ and its viewers’), as well as a gently absurdist take on social mores and class divisions. Praised as “possibly the best-known erotic film of modern times, perhaps the best” by Roger Ebert, fantasy and reality come together in one of Buñuel’s biggest hits.
